oh so cute ali! love that photo!!and I do see a tint of red...

Yes, it does look a little red! :)

oh, she is SO adorable! (both girls are!)

Thank you for sharing this- I am ready to get into my layering side:)

great use for left over letters actually!

Congrats to the winners!!!

I would love to see an approach where you don't have much access to your photos or your stories from your past. I don't have any childhood photos accessible and my mom (who had all my stories) passed away a few years ago. I really want to scrap my memories, but it's hard without a "trigger" when you're so photo-oriented. If you have tips for another approach, I'll be there!

a good cook.

I would love to have all my photos scrapped.

Oh Ali, thanks so much for sharing your stories about Simon. It is so encouraging to see how he grown into such a wonderful individual and how much he (as children with ASD often do) teaches us about life!
As for long sleeves in summer - I think the desert analogy is great! But is there one for my son who insists on taking his shoes off as soon as school finishes to run in the grass, puddles and playground equipment even when is close to freezing here in winter??? <-:

Just what I needed today.... I love Cohelo. Thanks Ali!

Thanks Ali! Blessings to you & yours.

The Cohelo... perfect to read.

Thank you! I really need to learn more digi tips... I love the DD website but don't always remember to check for tips... I get caught up in looking at things to buy ; )

This was awesome. I've never tried any of those Photoshop techniques before today. Very pleased with the results!!

My word... Simplify. All areas of my busy, cluttered life need simplified.

my word IS Freedom and I am learning how to let go of the things that do not really matter.....

We camp out in our backyard. We grill hamburgers and hotdogs and make smores. Then we watch a movie on the portable dvd player. LOL. That's roughing it!

Our favorite summer tradition is we celebrate the end of the school year by going to the Drive-In Movie. So much fun.

Local Girl Scouts might also appreciate extra scrapbook goodies. I know our girls LOVE when I can bring in extras for them. :)

There's a great organization here that gives scrapbooking supplies to children of mothers that are in prison. It's called The Baby Fold, and it's located in Bloomington, IL. They set up a day each year for children to make a scrapbook for their mom, to show them what they have been doing while they were away. I believe they also give supplies to ... Read Morethe mother's so they can scrapbook and journal while in prison, a lot of photos from the child's past. I have donated extra stuff to them numerous times. They will pretty much take anything. If you are interested in helping this cause, email me, and I will give you further instructions.

these rock! Awesome...gonna have to give this a try sometime! Thanks for sharing!

awsome tutorial! I can't waite to try!

It reminds me of the books we made in 5th grade where our teacher had us pick wallpaper samples for the outside of the book, we used cardboard for the book front & back, she stitched white paper together down the middle (so 8.5 x 11" papers folded in half were the "book pages"), and then we glued it all together with rubber cement.

I'd completely forgotten about that!!

Hanna Anderson PJs are the best! Did you get the ones with the stars and stripes?

Way too cute! x

So sweet! Right now for us is the Japanese Game show and popcorn. :)

Your tweets are great - thanks!

ahsooo...you're tweeting again! Cool!

I love all the pictures of your beautiful baby girl. Are you enjoying all the PINK and otherwise girlie things?! :)

Thanks for sharing this special time in your life. I'm 6 months pregnant with my first and you've inspired me to cherish each moment as it comes. Before I knew I was having a boy, I was certain I was having a girl whom I wanted to name Anna Grace after my mother,my good friend, and an ancestor on my husbands side of the family. Anna is a beautiful name, and your Anna is adorable!

yeah I love Noell and Paperclipping!!!!!

Great tutorial, Noell! Thanks for posting these, Ali! :D

Hey Ali... just got done making a page using the bubbling effect loved the result...cant wait to do the other pages...thanks noel for sharing.

Really beautiful

Ali, your photos are too precious. I especially love the first one where you have your eyes closed and are snuggling up with your daughter and hubby. The look on your face just glows with love.

What a great idea. The photos are absolutely gorgeous and REAL. Love them. :)
